Back in the day, THIS was my internet....




I built webpages on the original Tripod site (and geo-somethingorother) with this darn thing. I was a teenager and ran multiple snail mail pen pal websites. I also was a WebTV forum-aholic.

At the time, my parents "didn't believe in" computers or other "nonsense fad items" so this way my first ever online experience. I loved it lol

I remember later on having a very clunky pc with the hella annoying dial-up AOL going on.

Both of which would kick me off any time someone called.

Ha ha ha! The first thing I thought of was "All Your Base." I thought it was sooo cool when I first saw it.

I have an All Your Base T-Shirt!

I got on the internet in 1999 and the first thing I did was download Seti@Home. I wanted to help find ET. This lead to participating in many other distributed computing projects and also to building computers that were dedicated to these tasks.

My first computer was a 500 MHz Pentium III Gateway. It was so exciting when dual cores came out and then quad cores and then hyper-threaded quad cores. I learned about overclocking and started to learn to code. Francois Piednoel talked to me at Seti@Home. The electric bill started getting too high and the drama of the Seti@Home message boards became burdensome. I gave up distributed computing.

I am also nostalgic about newsgroups. I used to participate in several that were dedicated to television shows. I remember the Andromeda group in particular.

i got online in about 1995.

I bought a new computer when I started graduate school and

It came with a disk to install Prodigy.

My first email address was a randomly generated list of characters @prodigy.com.

I played a lot of Tetris when I should have been doing research, and

I would dream about those shapes falling.

At some point I discovered a free download for Quake, and

I would play it a lot and I would get kind of flinch-y, and

I would delete it from from my computer.

I would download it again, and delete it again.

Eventually I learned how to play in 'god mode' and

I got way too familiar with the geography of the game.

I didn't know that many people with email addresses in 1995, but

I had a lot of fun corresponding.

I made terrible mistakes all the time, like

I sent a romantic email meant for my ex to her whole family.

Once I cc'ed my ex's mother in an email where I was talking about her.

She was always very nice to me and

All I was repeating was her strong opinion about how to use ellipses correctly.

I kinda miss the old dial-up sounds and AOL's "you got mail"

I remember being told of Google and me asking, "what's a google?"

I never got knocked off line because my mommy made me get a second phone line in the house... lol.
